You may've noticed that Marge looks a little different than the other donkeys in the herd.  That is because she is a mini mule.  Mule's are a cross between a horse and a donkey and the majority of mules are unable to have babies.  Like her bonded pair Eedee (see Eedee's tale), Marge is older (approximately 35) and has worn down her teeth to the gums.  Accordingly, she gets a special diet of mash for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as pain medication for her arthritis.  Mealtime with Marge is hilarious to watch.  While eating her soupy mash, Marge loves to stick her whole muzzle into the bowl, stir it vigorously, and take huge mouthfuls that she slings about.  Since her teeth are so worn down, the mash goes everywhere.  She  then proceeds to use Eedee as her personal napkin.  Her table manners are less than refined.  She is a perfect walking partner and likes to trot with anyone preferring a faster pace. She loves treats and smacks her lips in anticipation, which has led to her knick name, "Hot Lips".

If you are torn between horses and donkeys, Marge is the answer.
